As required for your SAT project and the PSM, we need to be able to collect data.

Be careful!

In data analytics, data refers to raw information gathered. Unmodified, unprocessed. Information refers to processed and manipulated data.

Methods

  • Observation - e.g. watching and recording colour of cars that enter a car park
  • Surveys - e.g. asking a group of people on their favourite colour.
  • Interviews - e.g. asking shoppers which supermarket they prefer and why.
  • Reports - e.g. pre-written reports on the topic.
